====== Countess Barbara of Tango ======

The Lady Countess Barbara hails from the Spanish province of Tango, famous
for the dance of that name, which was invented by an ancestor of the
Countess' as a diversion during the rescue of Pope Joan from an army of
infidels with whom the ancestor had ingratiated herself by well; that's
another story.

Countess Barbara was wed to his most elderly Excellency, the Count Juan of
Tango at the tender age of nineteen. For their honeymoon, the couple
chartered a cruise ship, "The Golden Dromedary" and headed out to see the
famous armoured jellyfishes of the Green Sea. Before they reached their
destination, however, the Count met with a most unfortunate accident
involving a chain of brass bells, the ship's foghorn, a garter belt and
his own sword. Servants discovered his body in the bedroom the next
morning. The Countess, it appears, had mercifully slept through the whole
incident.

A woman of formidable courage, Her Excellency was able to martial her
resources to overcome her grief and take charge of the Count's
considerable wealth and estate. She has since travelled through the four
corners of the world, seeking knowledge and a good story, as she is sure
her husband would have wished.
